PHNOM PENH, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian Supreme Court on Friday upheld the verdict of eight to 18 years in jail for eight members of the militant organization Cambodian Freedom Fighters (CFF).
The Phnom Penh municipal and the Battambang provincial courts gave them the sentence over establishing terrorism group and illegal use of weapons during their night raid on several government buildings in the capital in November 2000.
"We uphold the decision from the low courts," said Khim Pon, president of the council of judgment of the Supreme Court, insisting that they had enough proof to do so.
While the verdict was declared, six members of the group were present. One of rest two stayed in the prison in Kompong Cham province and the other one had died recently in jail.
